The Evil Twin

We know it is there. It is our dark side. It is our hatreds and our fears, our prejudices and our anger, the corruption of our souls. They are the embodiment of all we do not wish to be.

In many literary works this very theory is used with another name- 'doppelganger '. Not only in literature but theater has also tried its

hand in this genre, and quite successfully.

The reason I have taken this particular topic is -it is not about terrorizing people or horrorizing them, it is about making people realize that they are not perfect. Everyone has a dark side. The day we accept it will be the day when we can call ourselves WHOLE. The day we have to combine our bad and good self we will be able to call ourselves 'satisfied'. It is all about overcoming our fears, our prejudices and our anger. And the the best way is by becoming indifferent to our fears, keep aside our prejudices and think rationally and most of all pacify ourselves and avoid those 'angry moments'.

The so called 'Evil Twin' can give all of us a hard time. If WE don't it it will definitely find us. And then it'll be late. The evil in you will destroy you and before you realize you will be in the pothole of life. You'll lose everything slowly....

All the theoretical and literary works work in the same direction. The way to become 'whole'.Some of them are listed below:

Literary works-

• Beowulf
• Jane Eyre

Films-

• The great Dictator
• Doppelganger
• Godzilla
• Prince of Persia: The two Thrones

Television-

• Charmed (the two part er episode-'It's a bad, bad, bad world')
• Elizabeth Montgomery often played Samantha Stevens' evil twin cousin, Serena on the television series Bewitched.
• In the television series I Dream of Jeannie Jeannie had an evil twin sister known as "Jeannie's Sister" or Jeannie II. Both characters were played by Barbara Eden.

Comic books-

• Superman, Bizarro emerged as the first Superboy's evil twin.
• Wonder Woman episode#175.
• DC Comics (evil doppelgangers of various superheroes reside on Earth-Three).

Evil twins are everywhere. The best place to find it id WITHIN you. It is like your enemy inside you. It is just a matter of time that you go find you evil self or your 'doppelganger' (to give the horror effect) and tame it according to you. Just go ahead before it starts destroying your lives.

So, all the best. Go find your 'doppelganger'. :P
